                Notice of September 30, 2026

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Situation in and in Relation to Syria

                On October 14, 2019, by Executive Order 13894, the 
                President declared a national emergency pursuant to the 
                International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1701 et seq.) to deal with the threat to the national 
                security and foreign policy of the United States 
                constituted by the legacy situation in and in relation 
                to Syria. On January 15, 2025, the President issued 
                Executive Order 14142 in view of changing circumstances 
                on the ground in Syria and in order to take additional 
                steps with respect to the national emergency declared 
                in Executive Order 13894.

                On June 30, 2025, I issued Executive Order 14312 to 
                expand the scope of the national emergency declared in 
                Executive Order 13894 and to take additional steps to 
                ensure meaningful accountability for perpetrators of 
                war crimes, human rights violations and abuses, and the 
                proliferation of narcotics trafficking networks in and 
                in relation to Syria during the former regime of Bashar 
                al-Assad and by those associated with it, as 
                perpetrators of such actions threaten to undermine the 
                peace, security, and stability in the region.

                This situation continues to pose an unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, 
                the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
                13894 of October 14, 2019, with respect to which 
                additional steps were taken in Executive Order 14142 of 
                January 15, 2025, and which was expanded in scope in 
                Executive Order 14312 of June 30, 2025, must continue 
                in effect beyond October 14, 2026. Therefore, in 
                accordance with section 202(d) of the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
                for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive 
                Order 13894 with respect to the situation in and in 
                relation to Syria.
